Description
I did some dial nudging, and morphed a beautiful, but somewhat troubled lady I'll call 'Leda.' I honestly have no idea why I picked the name Leda, but upon doing some research, I concluded that it suited her perfectly!
Here is a silly little story I wrote about Leda.________________
"He's here isn't he? He just splashed down!"
"Who?"
"The swan!"
"Leda, you are so silly! All the people feed him, and he's hoping you will, too! You don't have to fear him! He's just a swan!"
"And so wasn't it "just a swan" that went after Leda, the Queen of Sparta? Just a swan?"
"It wasn't just a swan, it was the God Zeus! And it was just a myth! Greek mythology!"
"Well....maybe this swan is some kind of Greek god come back to....do...well...you know what to me!"
(snickers) "That's so ridiculous, Leda!"
"What I want to know is, with all the names my parents could have picked, why did they pick 'Leda' for me?"
"Lots of people are named Leda. They had never heard about Leda and the Swan."
"Name one."
"Well, there was a Leda who.....was one of Mussolini's lovers."
"Greeeeaaat!"
"And besides, Leda, how do you know it is even a he?"
"I've seen him go after defenseless female swans. He is cruel and relentless!"
"You are a silly goose, Leda"!
"This isn't about a goose, it's about a swan who may or may not really be a swan!"
"Whatever, Leda."

Outstanding work and very well done! 10+ (if you have time take a peek at my, Forgotten Among the Willows, I was inspired in my teen years by DaVincis work on this myth and highly respect anyone that illustrates their interpretation of it)
